Objectives

To formulate a Plan for Sustainable Urban Mobility in Havana that will make it possible to diagnose the city's mobility, sponsoring working sessions with the convention on Territorial Planning and Urbanism and the Scientific Convention on Engineering and Architecture, generating proposals that involve changing the modal distribution, improving traffic, public transport, cycling and pedestrian mobility

For its part, the pilot project aims to recover the Eje de Galeano to ensure high pedestrian flow and thus provide better public pedestrian spaces that guarantee accessibility

Challenges in the region

Cuba has been facing serious economic constraints since 1959
The public transport system does not meet the high demand of the urban population

More than 70% of trips in Havana are made by bus and on foot, but public spaces are poorly maintained and inaccessible
